Sukta 128
यश्च॑ प॒णि रघु॑जि॒ष्ठ्यो यश्च॑ दे॒वां अदा॑शुरिः । धीरा॑णां॒ शश्व॑ताम॒हं तद॑पा॒गिति॑ शुश्रुम
yáś ca paṇí raghújiṣṭhyo yáś ca devā́n ádāśur íḥ | dhīrā́ṇāṁ śáśvatām aháṁ tád apā́k íti śuśruma ||
Both he who is Paṇi, swiftest to seize, and he who to the Gods gives no oblation—of the wise, the everlasting, have I heard this: ‘that man is cast away.’
Tanto aquele que é Paṇi, o mais rápido em agarrar, quanto aquele que não oferece oblação aos deuses—dos sábios, dos perenes, ouvi isto: «esse homem é rejeitado».
